The Lake of the Ozarks lost a great guy in Kevin Gates. We had the pleasure of knowing him for several years. He was a great business man and truly a nice guy. Please know, that down here at the Lake we are thinking of your family. I sure hope they have a Starbucks in Heaven! RIP Kevin!

Kevin was a good business man but more important, he always had a smile on his face and was positive. Thanks to his family who have taken care of him these last few years. The lake will miss his cleaning, but I will miss him as a friend. Kevin, it was great knowing you.
